Mariners 1, Angels 0
Anonymous homer bozos will knock me when I say the obvious. Sean might even question my timing. But a team that can't take a series from the bottom-dwelling Mariners doesn't deserve to go to the postseason, period.
Looking at the box score, nothing pops out: the team just didn't hit. Richard blames it on the offspeed pitch, but come on -- it wasn't invented last week. The real problem is this team has no patience; without looking, it might be the most hacktastic club in the majors now. Okay, looking, the club's strikeout to at bat ratio (SO/AB) is actually 2nd in the majors, only after Baltimore. However, the BB/TPA ratio -- the number of walks the club takes per plate appearance -- is also frighteningly low at .070, worst in the majors. Not much in the way of plate patience there.
